JOY IS THE PURE AND SIMPLE DELIGHT IN BEING ALIVE!

Even during challenging times, showing up to joy is essential.
Without joy, we lose sight our purpose, passion and presence.
We fall out of gratitude and connection with ourselves, others, and our planet.
Since 2015, I have been engaged in a daily practice of joy that completely transformed my life.
You can follow my joy journey on this website or on social media.
I hope it will inspire you to create your own Daily Practice of Joy.
- Victoria Price


IN 2021, my daily practice of joy was walking twice a day with my dog allie and taking photographs,
which I posted on my
Instagram account. This inspired me to be glad, give thanks, rejoice!
Toward the end of the year, I began rethinking my use of social media Platforms,
Which have PROVEN damaging to SO MANY. I did not post on social media for almost nine months.

IN April 2023, I began a new practice.

THE HISTORY OF THIS BLOG

DISCOVERING PRACTICE 

In April 2015, I wrote my first Daily Practice of Joy blog post -- because I had to find some way to break the cycle of workaholism that had consumed virtually every part of my being. From these first tentative words and explorations of joy, my whole life began to transform and everything bloomed.

This first blog laid the foundation for all that has come since -- and it remains a touchstone of the immense healing power of joy!

THE PRESENTS OF PRACTICE

In April 2017, I decided to try sharing some of my core practices: Beauty, Being, Books, Flight, Food, Fun, Paths, People, Places, Soul, Soundtrack, Stories.

During this time, I wrote short entries accompanied by photos I had taken. In doing this, I not only endeavored to keep my joy practices fresh for myself, but I also hoped to share ideas about practice and joy that might inspire others to create their own.

THE PRACTICE OF PRESENCE

In April 2018, I needed to shake things up again for myself. On my Back Roads Book Tour for my inspirational memoir, The Way of Being Lost: A Road Trip to My Truest Self, I shared the immense healing power of both joy and practice with others. But writing a blog felt much less joyful.

So I rededicated myself to being more present to my practice of joy by sharing whatever surfaced once a week.

HEART-CENTERED PRACTICE

In April 2020, my book — Living Love: 12 Heart-Centered Practices to Transform Your Life — was published. We were also in lockdown. . .and so the only way I could share the message of the book was through this blog.

I blogged every single day from January 1 - June 15. This, in itself, was my heart-centered practice. And as ever, it taught me what I needed to hear and share with others on their journeys!
